		<description><![CDATA[I’ve never subscribed to the &#8220;best small country in the world&#8221; line. Why?  Because it seems to do what we specialise in – belittle ourselves.

		<description><![CDATA[Two conversations during the past fortnight have sparked this plea. One was in Burnley, East Lancashire when a student mentioned to me that she had never been to Scotland. “You must visit”, was my hospitable suggestion. “But it’s very cold up there isn’t it?” she asked. Now there may be the occasional variation in temperature [...]]]></description>
